Texas Drifter: FCC Really Fascist Communications Commission?

Marshall’s Law Dateline – Following writing exercise will involve mostly questions as Texas Drifter is feeling all writ out. Can any honest adult explain why Federal Communications Commission should not change their name to Fascist Communications Commission; as long the agency continues to rabidly serve a Marxist-fascist President?

It is pure fascist policy for FCC to regulate ISPs like Title II common carriers. TRUE OR FALSE

People ask, is it better for fascist government or private sector emerging monopolies to determine internets future? Simple answer, increasing fascist Federal Courts may occasionally break up monopolies, but will never “reign in” fascist regulations of fascist government agencies. TRUE or FALSE

Clues for above questions, Reader might reference Marshall’s Law Texas Drifter Library Entry #’s 776 and 760 respectively titled: “Is Obama’s Net Neutrality Segregation?” and “N.R. Internet Is Capitalist Best Friend Plus”.

Clue for following questions M.L.T.D.L. Entry # 749 entitled “Bi-Partite Compromises Treason?”

Many of America’s deservedly successful private sector internet barons, are about to learn what Germany’s wealthy industrialist moguls turned mongrels for Hitler learned from twentieth century history. Obama will be obsessed to destroy America’s internet icons. Why, because Obama never really liked them, and certainly does not need any internet billionaires for the rest of his hopefully, less than two year reign. TRUE or FALSE

“True or false question”, Obama is sacred oath breaker; liar; coward; traitor; fraud; hypocrite; race baiter when serves his interests (like Obama has abandoned Blacks for illegal immigrants); plus disgraced embarrassment to America’s better values, principles, and traditions. Same can be said for any Progressive Democrat who supports Obama; as well as corporate fascist Republican establishment ruling class aristocrats who tolerate. What, Obama’s domestic war crimes and national security surrender America policies to America’s enemies. TRUE or FALSE – Just asking not accusing!

Clue – Brown Shirted drooling fascist federal judges and bureaucrats like FCC; EPA; IRS; Interior; BLM; Education; plus any other Obama worshipers who mirror Obama’s seemingly evil rabid soul. Reader can list more examples if they choose? TRUE or FALSE Again, just asking not accusing!

Bonus question - Above guilty parties’ character deficiencies, do not even include their domestic war crimes; crimes like supporting porous borders which facilitate illegal immigrants crossing U.S. Southern Border. Results of these illegal immigrants crossings include violent crimes; DUI deaths and injuries; domestic violence cases; importing pandemics; stealing public resources set aside for America’s elderly and indigent.

Accessories to the illegal immigrants’ crimes by enticing illegal immigrants to enter America for amnesty and “free” public service benefits, like those having Social Security cards which generate EIC “cash payments”; include but are not limited to Texas U.S. Congressmen Vela and Cuellar. Note above character deficiencies do not even include tolerating or endorsing by one’s silence: crimes against America’s national security interests. Topic for another time. TRUE or FALSE

INTRODUCTION (Scene RR Ranch House)

(RR sitting at table cleaning sidearm – Hears knock at door)
RR – It’s never locked!
Visitor (Walks in)
RR- What do you want? No matter what, I’m not interested.
Visitor –No good morning; How you doing; Good to see you?
RR – Go away.
Visitor – Brought you something (Lays badge on table)
RR – Where did you get that?
Visitor – Undertaker gave it to stagecoach driver; said he would know where to leave it.
RR – What’s the story?
Visitor – Said teen boy killed him in “fair fight”.
RR – He was getting older and slower - guess it’s possible.
Visitor – Turnover the badge.
RR (turns over badge) – Bullet this badge stopped came from behind, not the front.
Visitor - Thought you would see it that way.
RR – So why don’t you just arrest that boy and bring him in for fair trial and just hanging?
Visitor –Can’t, town is just across Texas state line in frontier territory. I have no jurisdiction there; but you as American citizen have righteous revenge jurisdiction in self-defense anywhere in this great country.
RR - I used to have a badge like this; till you took it away from me.
Visitor- I recall differently; you tossed your badge on my desk; and said you had unfinished business. I also remember you never came back for your badge after you finished your unfinished business. Do not blame me for what you did not do!
Visitor Continues - Town has dozen or more upstanding citizens who will all swear in court boy killed your retired partner in fair fight; plus that boy refuses to wear side in public.
RR – Why you telling me this?
Visitor – So you never forget; that you are not looking for boy with sidearm that did not kill your partner; you would looking for one “Back Shooter” if you decided to return this badge so it can be buried with your friend at his final resting place.
RR – Have any idea what started showdown?
Visitor – Talk is Boy with pistol slapped a Barmaid, you can figure it out from there. One more thing, remember differences between vigilante, and righteous revenge rider just involved in self-defense. Know this, you act like hate motivated vigilante, and I will come looking for you; just like you are looking for one back shooter.
RR – Don’t worry, do not intend to dishonor my old partner and friend’s badge. You better have, better than good reason, if you ever come back to my ranch.
Visitor – Don’t make promises like that. (Walks out and leaves door open behind him)

ACT I

(About week later, RR “loops rein around hitching” for his horse outside small building in town just in frontier across Texas state line and walks inside.)
RR – You the undertaker?
Undertaker – Best in town.
RR – I have two jobs for you. First make sure my horse gets best care and food in town.
Undertaker – (Starts to speak)
RR – I’m not finished; make a really nice marker for the newest grave on that hill; I passed on way into town (hands a note); with this this written on it. These two gold coins will more than cover your services.
Undertaker – You don’t have to thank me for sending you people that badge.
RR – Don’t intend too; you just did it hoping to get more business. Don’t disappoint me. (Walks back outside – undertaker follows RR outside)
RR Continues – (While taking off his dust breaker) - In, spirit of “open carry”, want people to know how I make my living. I expect to get what I pay for.
Undertaker – As you wish Sir.
RR – (Walks down street and stops in front of swinging doors at “scene of crime” saloon – looks around then slowly walks down to end of bar.) Half glass your best tequila. (Notices one of local towns people sheepishly leave through swinging doors)
(Shortly Sheriff nervously enters, and walks up to RR in with short barreled double barrel.)
Sheriff – (Points at RR’s side arm with double barrel) Most times, drifter with rig like that is either running from the law, or a bounty hunter. Which are you?
RR – Neither one, more like a private vigilante.
Sheriff – (Almost yells) Boy killed that old man in “fair fight”. I got dozen upstanding citizens that will swear to that in court; besides that the boy has not worn a gun since that awful night – killing him would be murder – you will hang for that.
RR – Heard those words before – Not reaching for a gun. (Pulls badge out of his pocket) See this badge? (Turns it over for sheriff and every one to see) Bullet this badge stopped was fired from behind not in front of that old man. That means that old man was killed by a back shooter not in a “fair fight”. This badge also proves that you Sheriff, and all these upstanding citizens are liars. I don’t care about dealing with you liars; I am not here for the boy in front of that old man; I am here for one back shooter.
Sheriff – You got no jurisdiction in this territory.
RR – I don’t, but U.S. Marshall does; maybe you would like to tell him why and all these upstanding citizens are protecting a back shooter? Like I said, I do not care about the liars in this town; all I care about is one back shooter – I will give him two choices – let me take him back to Texas for a fair trial and just hanging; or two, find a place for him on that hill I passed on the way into town. Just a guess, what are costs of protecting a back shooter worth to you Sheriff, and these upstanding citizens? The back shooter can deal with me, or you all can deal with U.S. Marshall, your choice.
RR Continues – Now that everyone has seen everyone’s cards; think I will take my drink go set at that corner table and have some frontier cooking.
RR - (Keeping everyone in front of him, walks over to corner table; and puts his gun on table for everyone to see as the sits with his back to the wall) This town already has a back shooter’s reputation in Texas. Anyone who gets the idea to back shoot me through the wall. There are not enough U.S. Marshals in your frontier to protect you and your friends from Texas righteous revenge riders. (Turns and looks at barmaid) Come over so I can order my meal.
(Barmaid walks over to RR’s table)
RR – What happened to your eye and face?
Barmaid – I fell down.
RR – Seems everyone in this town is a stranger to the truth. Anyway I will have one burned steak large enough cover big plate; medium bowl of black beans warm not too hot or cold; half dozen corn tortillas; and another half glass of tequila. I will pay you what the food is worth. (Barmaid turns to go into kitchen)
RR. Continues – You upstanding citizens looking at me, makes me nervous. Why don’t you go find your back shooting neighbor and tell him to do what is in your upstanding community’s best interest?

ACT II

(RR appears to be watching both swinging doors, and end of bar hallway which leads to kitchen and probably to back door)
(Barmaid carrying plate and small bowl walks over to RR’s corner table)
Barmaid – As you wanted, burned steak covering large plate; bowl of black beans warm, not hot or cold; be back with your corn tortillas and half glass of tequila.
RR – Appreciate good service.
(Shortly barmaid returns with rest of order, then just stand there)
Barmaid – Dead men don’t pay their bills.
RR – Two coins, first is silver, for my food and drinks; tell bartender to keep the change for lost business while I set here and enjoy my meal alone. Second is gold – If things go as planned, I hope to be leaving this town before sundown. If you are tired of letting boys do that to your face, use second coin to buy you a ride, if you have the courage to leave this town; I will escort you back to Texas.
Barmaid – Blank you!
RR – Maybe some other time; I am not here for romance. Also, go lock the back door; do not want any surprise customers. Almost forgot, tell the Bartender that if he unlocks the door, before I leave; I will consider him an accessory to back shooting and settle up. Better still, tell the bartender to stand at the end of the bar with both hands on the bar and not move them; so I know who “my friends” are. One more thing, any surprise customers come in here; the bartended will be one of my targets. – tell him I said that.
(Barmaid mutters something as she turns around and walks off to talk to bartender
(RR starts enjoying what town’s upstanding citizens, hope will be his last meal)
(Barmaid hangs “closed sign” on swinging doors then leaves.
RR – Where is she going?
Bartender – Told her to spread the word that I was closed until you leave.
RR (Picks up his pistol off table) – You are not going to move your hands are you?
Bartender – Not a chance.
RR – Good man. (Then laws his pistol back on table and continue his meal)
(As RR was finishing his meal; decent looking middle age woman peers over swinging doors and asks.) Can I come in?
RR – Come In.
Back Shooter’s Mother – Are you the man who wants to kill my boy?
RR – That depends, is you boy a back shooter?
Back Shooter’s Mother – He is only a boy, he did know what he was doing?
RR – How old is your boy?
Back Shooter’s Mother – Nineteen.
RR – Nineteen year old, should know better than to pick up a rifle, and intentionally shoot an old man in the back.
Back Shooter’s Mother – Texas has no jurisdiction here.
RR- You are right; but I am not here as a Texan, I am here as an American exercising my rights of free speech. Don’t interrupt – I am only here to try and get your back shooting boy to voluntarily go back to Texas with me.
Back Shooter’s Mother – What good will that do?
RR – Once your back shooting boy crosses Texas state boundary; he will be a fugitive from a murder prosecution. He will be taken into custody; where after some legal wrangling; Texas Governor will extradite your back shooting boy to Judge Isaac C. Parker’s Federal court.
Back Shooter’s Mother – He the hanging judge; what if my boy refuses to go back to Texas with you?
RR – Guess I will just stay around till you boy tries to murder me.
Barmaid (At swinging doors) – I’m coming in.
RR – Come in stand on this side of bar.
Back Shooter’s Mother (Attitude changes to more friendly) Look just let my boy live: I will go anywhere with you; do anything you like; for as long as you like. Look I’m still a good looking woman in daylight. Just let my boy live.
RR – (Glancing at Bar Maid then Back shooter’s Mother) Seems this town has some of friendliest women I’ve ever met; only problem is I did not come here for romance. Advice is worth what one pays for it. Any boy that is willing to pimp out his own mother to keep him out of trouble, will not grow up to be much of a man. So why don’t you go explain to your back shooting son, about being accountable for one’s actions; then tell him to call me out.
(Back Shooter’s Mother reaches into her purse)
RR – if your hand comes out of your purse with anything more than your hand; I will make your eye look like your back shooting boy’s friend did to that girl. Slowly take your hand out of you purse then leave.
(Back Shooter’s Mother leaves through swinging doors)
(RR looks at Barmaid’s eyes – then points at Bartender) – Go outside now!
(Bartender hurries outside)
RR (trying to break tension) – Only met two women in this town so far, and both are interested in romance.
Barmaid – Saw the one you are looking for talking to the one that busted my face.
RR – Thought they would be talking soon enough.
Barmaid – You don’t understand; the one you are looking for was wearing the other one’s gun; that means the one that busted my face intends to shoot you in the back. Quick let me show you the back door.
RR – Slow down, the one that likes to hit you plans to shoot me in the back; he has not done it yet. Second I did not come this far to run out a back door. These is a time for leaving and a time for staying; you obviously never learned that. (RR walks over to swinging front doors and scans both sides of the street.)
Back Shooter Yells – Come out and die like a dog!
RR Continues – The one that you put up with hitting you; will probably try to back shoot me from the general store across the street. If things do not work out like I planned; here’s another gold coin for you to leave this town if you ever have enough courage. Time for me to finish what I’ve started. (RR starts pushing swinging doors apart and starts to walk outside)

ACT III

(RR eases through swinging doors and slowly takes several side steps with his back to the saloon’s wall – Keeping one eye on the boy in the middle of the street and other eye on general store)
Back Shooter nervously yells – Come out in middle of street!
RR. – That would give you an edge with sun at your back.
Back Shooter – Don’t need no edge to shoot vigilante dog like you.
RR - Better think about this – Big difference between shooting old man in back at ten feet with a Winchester, and shooting man studying you at fifty feet – You don’t have to end like this – So slowly use your first finger and thumb of your left hand and slowly remove your pistol and drop it to the ground.
Back Shooter- So you can take me back to hang? (Back Shooter’s Mother runs into street and stops next to her back shooting son)
(SUDDENLY – deafening shot blast out behind RR followed by scream)
Barmaid (Yells) – You will never hit me again (plus unsuitable words for family story) (As Reader knows who stumbles through door of general store then crumbles into street)
RR (As starts to step into middle of street) - Guess there is one person in this town who does not like back shooters.
RR – Boy this could be your last chance to see your mama tomorrow. I am going to give you little more time to decide. I am going to turn and wait for your answer after one more tequila. (Slowly starts to turn, keeping his eyes on now primary, with his hand still in position)
(As RR is turning hears Back Shooter’s Mother scream, instantly followed by shot)
Back Shooter (Half crying, half screaming) - I didn’t mean to shoot you mother.
(Then with look of possessed demon) Back Shooter screamed – You killed my mother (starts to point his pistol at RR – as RR put the Back shooter out of everyone’s misery)
(RR stood there continuing to scan for any more craziness as Sheriff walked up to RR)
Sheriff – You happy now?
RR – What does that mean?
Sheriff – Three good townspeople are dead because of you!
RR – You are still a liar, by my count four people are dead because you dishonored you badge by letting good upstanding town’s people beat on Hispanic barmaid whose only sin was trying to make a living. (RR holsters his pistol)
RR Continues – Step back Sheriff if you want to challenge what I just said.
(While Sheriff is thinking – One of upstanding towns people yells and points) – Outlaws
RR (Glances back) – Not outlaws just three righteous revenge riders.
(Lead rider looked like Visitor that started this story)
Leader (Looks at RR) – Finished your business here?
RR – Almost – Need to check with undertaker about new marker for that hill you passed on way here; need to return a badge to its rightful owner; need to say few words of good bye to an old friend; then I will head back to my ranch for some peace and quiet; which means not seeing your face or hearing your voice for long time.
Leader – Go finish your business.
RR – Almost forgot – That young woman over there, saved my life from a back shooter – Appreciate it, if you escort her back to Texas where I feel sure; she has the courage to sign an affidavit under oath complete with details and names of all involved, since this case started through today.
Leader – Go finish your business; we will make sure she gets safely back to Texas.
Leader (Turns to Barmaid) – You got a ride? (She points to young paint) Good.
Leader (Looks at of his riders) – Shorty – go help her with her mount.
Leader (Looks at Sheriff) – Heard a lot about you; it would not have disappointed me to find you among the deserving killed today. Understand this – I and my associates like that man that some of your upstanding citizens tried to back shoot. Make no mistake, anything happens to him while in this town; while leaving this territory; of even when he is back in Texas. You and your upstanding citizens will learn two things: first, his personality is a lot more pleasant than ours; second there is no place where we cannot and will not find you.
Leader Continues – Do you understand me Sheriff?
Sheriff – Yes
Leader turns to gathered crowd of upstanding citizens – Do you upstanding citizens understand me?
Upstanding citizens in unison – Yes
Leader – Same applies to this young lady’s health – Everyone Understand?
All answer in unison – Yes

OUTRO

(As now four riders, “lope” past hill while leaving town; they see Triple R standing by new marker with hat in his left hand)
Third Rider – If he is right handed, why is his hat in his left hand?
Leader – RR really likes that hat; and would hate to drop his favorite hat in the dirt; before drawing his weapon.
Barmaid – Who is he talking to?
Leader – Old friend; keep “loping”.
(Mile or so later Barmaid stops and says) - I want to talk.
Barmaid Continues (Looks at Leader) – Your friend back there, He have a wife?
(Leader and two riders break out in almost simultaneous laughter)
Barmaid dryly quips – Something funny?
Leader – No “Mam” to both your questions.
Barmaid Continues – Good. One more thing, after I put “my mark” on your affa-paper or whatever it is; you give me directions to “His” ranch?
Third Rider smiling asks – You thinking about staying with “Him”?
Barmaid – Might Be! (In threatening voice with darkest eyes staring at Third Rider) Was I talking to you?
Third Rider (Tips his hat) – Sorry mam for interfering.
(Barmaid Looks at Leader with same piercing eyes)
Leader – Lady, after you put your mark on my affa-paper; I will do more than give you directions to His ranch; I will take you there in person.
Barmaid – Good (Spurs her horse); let’s go to Texas.
Leader (Looks at Shorty and nods)
(Shorty catches up and lopes alongside Barmaid)
Leader – You want something Rider Three?
Rider Three – Yes Captain …
Leader – Told you not to call me that while in territory.
Rider Three (Hesitates) – Yes, Boss; you think RR will appreciate you bringing that scary woman to his ranch?
Leader – Not one damn bit; that is why I intend to deliver her sooner not later. We better go before Shorty and our witness beat us back to Texas; or you forget and call me Captain again. (Leader waves his hand) After you …

EDITOR MARSHALL’S EPILOGUE – Texas Drifter has it on good account that one recently married couple built their ranch North of Del Rio somewhere along Pecos River into small empire. It is also reported that they had some of best looking, hardest working, most fair minded; yet could be meanest off spring in State of Texas.

Texas Drifter also reported that all the upstanding town’s people involved in above territory history, all changed their names and moved to different locations. Why, seems they were afraid that one of the newly- weds might get a single cactus thorn in a finger; and they did not want any righteous revenge riders returning to discuss anything with them.

May sound strange, Texas Drifter reported that only person to never leave above community was “best in town” undertaker. Been told around that before Undertaker went beyond insane; he told passers-by that he had to stay and care for “best marker” he ever created.

Bonus Warning for Reader, even though above history happened hundred years, plus several decades ago; if Reader is passing by unknown hill; with one remaining marker; Reader better treat it with respect. Why, Reader does not want that “eternal undertaker” following Reader home. TRUE or FALSE
